And I failed
I stopped reading around this time and went to party with friends. I slept long so by the time I was awake the readathon was almost over.
Luckily these few hours did pull me out of my reading slump.

Happy reading and I hope I'll do better next time.

24 Hour Read-A-Thon: TBR

It's coming closer, we're only 24 hours away now!

At first I didn't plan on making a TBR, but right now I'm just like... why the heck not?
So here it is;
  • My Life with the Walter Boys by Ali Novak
  • Uninvited by Sophie Jordan
I'll be a happy person if I'm able to read these two books and maybe throw in some ebooks.

Much love,
Ellen

24 Hour Read-A-Thon: Who's With Me?

It's coming closer everybody! The 24 hour read-a-thon is only a little more than 1 day away.
Who's excited? Who's joining?

I'll have to start at 2pm (because Belgian time) the 17th of October, so I'll try to sleep in. I also made the decision to stay sober Friday night, I have a reunion in my old highschool, but I won't be good with a hangover.

What I'm going to do as a preparation? Probably get some snacks and energy drinks. My shelves have loads of books I haven't read yet, so I'll be fine with those.

Comment down below and let me know if you're joining.
I'll be hosting one of the mini-challenges, so look for that one (somewhere around the 7th hour...)

Much love,
Ellen
